A 39-year-old man who was arrested on suspicion of child neglect has been bailed pending further enquiries.
Police officers forced entry to a house in Wykeham Green, Dagenham, at about 6pm on Monday last week after being contacted by a member of the public. The child was not harmed.
The man has been bailed until next month.
